Nexus Dashboard pre-upgrade validation script as signed plugin process

  • Prior to Nexus Dashboard release 4.3.x, the Nexus Dashboard pre-upgrade validation script was a standalone Python script that you would download and run from an external host over SSH to perform health checks across nodes.

  • Beginning with Nexus Dashboard release 4.3.x, the Nexus Dashboard pre-upgrade validation script is now a signed plugin process, where you download the Cisco-signed .ndp (Nexus Dashboard plugin) file, which Nexus Dashboard validates and runs locally with elevated privileges.
